Banana Coconut Muffins

I had two banana’s sitting around and I didnt want to just throw them away and I didn’t just want to make a plan old banana bread so I came a cross this recipe and let me tell ya these were so stinking yummy! My husband ate 3 in one sitting! He thought they were really yummy! 🙂

 

1 1/4 C flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

2 very ripe bananas, mashed (3/4 C)

1 stick melted butter

2/3 C sugar

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 C coconut

1/2 tsp grated orange zest

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, mix the bananas, butter, sugar, egg vanilla, coconut and orange zest. Whisk until smooth. Pour the dry mixture on top and using a rubber spatula, gently fold into the wet ingredients. DO NOT OVER MIX! You want a few small streaks of flour left.

3. Divide batter evenly into 8 muffin tins lined with papers. I use a large ice cream scoop and it turns out perfectly for 8 muffins. Bake for 25 minutes in the middle of your oven. Remove from the pan immediately after removing from the oven and allow to cool on racks before serving.
